Any boy can make one of these for himself out of cardboard. Cut a piece of cardboard the shape of a crescent, as in Fig. 1, and round the edges nicely off. Now support this between the fingernail and finger of the left hand at an angle of about 45 degrees as in Fig. 2. Then give it a vigorous "tip with the finger of the right hand at the extreme edge of the cardboard. It will be lent spinning into space, and will invariably return to the hand, or near it.

The easiest wav to make it is to cut out Fig. 1 and paste it on the cardboard and run your knife along the back line. $134 For Bottle of Soda. dol-One hundred and thirty-fou- r lars is a pretty Bteep price to pay for a bottle of soda water, and may be considered the record.

Silk is known to be the secretion of two glands of the silkworm alongside of the digestive canal. These glands, which consist of tubes in numerous colls, terminate in the spinning wart, and open in a common orifice from which the secretion, of the consistency of honey, issues forth, promptly hardening into a thread on exposure to the air.
